When you bettez or raisez, ask yourself these questions:Qu - what is j hope that my opponent will do?
Can my bet make him do what I want?
What hands am I d try to sleep?
What hands am I d try to caller?
What hands am I d try to raiser?
What (different from mine) hand am I represent?
Here is an example of a hand:
25/50 NL heads up against a brilliant player but loose.
Bill raise A♠8♠ $ 150 on the button with a $ 5000. BB call with $ 7000.
The flop is 2♠Q♥9♠.
It check; Bill put $ 250; it call.
The turn is 4♥.
Check, check.
The river is 7♣.
It check; Ball wants to bet $ 800.
Why?
Me: What do you hope that your opponent does?
Bill: As he folds.
